White background - Text hardly readable

[mr_jimmybob]

Hello.

Is there a way to change the white background?, It used to be a nice dark grey, but now for some reason, I get a white background that makes the text very hard to read.

As you can see in the image, it is hard to see due to low contrast:

   

And also the playing page is white and ugly:

   

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with a HiFiBerry Digi+ pro all with an official 7-inch touchscreen. Both the touchscreen and remote access via web from a mobile or my desktop computer show the white page when selecting media or during playback; But not during config as you can see in the next image:

   

I have:

Linux moode 4.14.32-v7+ #1105 SMP Tue Apr 3 19:08:49 BST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Is there a way to fix this? (maybe to apply a theme or get the grey background back?)

Thanks.

Very odd and certainly not normal.

What version of moOde?
Did this issue just come up?

[kit1cat]

I have had a similar problem on my set up, cured it my resetting airplay? Worth a try.

Is it normal to have two (2) chromium-browsers running ?

[mr_jimmybob]

Just an idea: any chance you changed the "Alpha Blend" parameter to "0.00" (under Customization settings).
If you do that, you get the same effect...

ok, thanks.

Is there a way to edit these options through text files?

My 'customize' drop-down menu does nothing when pushed. Also just in case, it gives any clues, the 'Library' shows no information either. I have tried updating and rescanning the library.

All music is on an external USB drive. A Toshiba USB 3.0 drive.

Looking at the clues I might try a fresh install to see if I get anything new.

[Tim Curtis]

The section below from System info that shows empty values for all the settings suggests some type of corruption has occurred in moOde's SQL database. Maybe a bad SD Card?  

I'd recommend doing a fresh Build.

OK, I will reinstall from scratch. Thanks Tim.

[fedormil]

привет.
Я столкнулся с той же проблемой при изменении адаптивного фона, выбрав да. Теперь у меня белый фон и я ничего не выбираю в плейлисте.

У меня С У С Т О М И З А Ц И И

Есть возможность ручной смены?
